Description: The data contain the cumulative installation count and capacity of generators that are net metered, by technology, state, and sector. If available, the energy sold back to the grid is also reported. Technology types include photovoltaic (standard, virtual less than 1 megawatt, and virtual 1 megawatt or greater), wind, and other. Storage systems that are paired with net-metered photovoltaic (PV) are also captured.

We make a state-level adjustment for capacity of non-respondents of PV systems and to convert state total capacity to AC units for those respondents who report data in DC units. We use 0.8256 as a conversion factor to change DC to AC. For other energy sources, we have not established imputation procedures.
